FOREWORD 


The  Pennsylvania  Academy  of  the  Fine  Arts  expresses  its  gratitude 
to  Edward  Biddle  and  Mantle  Fielding  for  assistance  in  gathering  this 
Exhibition.  Their  authorship  of  "The  Life  and  Works  of  Thomas  Sully," 
which  they  recently  published,  preeminently  qualified  them  to  select 
the  pictures. 

The  Academy  acknowledges  its  gratitude  to  Albert  Cook  Myers  and 
Ernest  Spofford  of  Philadelphia  for  assistance  in  the  preparation  of  the 
biographical  notes  in  the  Catalogue.  The  information  herein  contained 
will  be  of  use  not  only  to  students  of  national  and  local  history  but  also- 
to  those  interested  in  the  work  of  Sully. 

Finally,  the  Academy  acknowledges  its  gratitude  to  its  many  friends- 

who  have  loaned  their  priceless  possessions  for  exhibition  to  the  public. 

Without  such  generous  cooperation  the  show  would  have  been  impossible* 

Probably  no  greater  compliment  has  ever  been  paid  to  the  Academy  than 

the  universal  and  prompt  acceptance  of  its  requests  for  the  loan  of  family 

^cs-  portraits.    Many  of  these  heirlooms  have  never  been  seen  by  the  public 

^  before  and  probably  will  never  be  seen  again.    Some  of  them  were  taken 

from  walls  upon  which  they  had  been  hanging  for  many  decades.  Other 

works  in  this  exhibition  have  been  loaned  by  the  United  States  Government 

^  and  by  public  and  private  institutions  upon  the  Academy's  mere  promise 

^  to  care  for  them  and  return  them  safely  to  the  lenders. 
...  . 
No  exhibition  of  Sully's  works  such  as  is  now  shown  the  public  has 

fi&  been  gathered  before  and  it  can  be  safely  said  that  probably  no  such 

exhibition  can  ever  be  gathered  again. 

John  Frederick  Lewis, 
-+-0  President.

THOMAS  SULLY 

A  Brief  Sketch  of  His  Life 

Thomas  Sully,  youngest  son  and  one  of  a  family  of  nine  children  of 
whom  four  were  boys  and  five  girls,  came  into  this  world  at  Horncastle, 
Lincolnshire,  England,  in  the  year  1783.  In  1792,  when  he  was  but  nine 
years  old,  his  parents,  Matthew  and  Sarah  Chester  Sully,  moved  their 
large  family  to  America,  settling  in  what  was  no  longer  Charlestown,  but 
Charleston,  S.  C,  there  better  to  carry  on  their  profession  as  actors.  At 
the  age  of  twelve,  young  Sully  was  placed  in  business  with  an  insurance 
broker,  but  the  lad  showed  so  little  inclination  for  this  and  such  a  deeply 
rooted  desire  for  drawing,  that  his  parents  took  him  away  from  his  com- 
mercial surroundings,  and  allowed  him  to  substitute,  in  its  stead,  an 
esthetic  atmosphere.  It  seems  that  young  Sully's  artistic  tastes  had 
already  been  kindled  a  few  years  before,  when  he  was  attending  the  same 
school  as  Charles  Fraser,  afterwards  well  known  as  a  miniature  painter, 
and  to  Fraser  is  attributed  Sully's  first  instruction  in  the  rudiments 
of  art.  Thus  did  the  embryo  artist  find  himself  embarked  on  a  new 
career  which  he  was  never  to  forsake. 

On  leaving  the  office  of  his  insurance  patron,  Sully  studied  art  under 
his  brother-in-law,  one  Mr.  Belzons,  a  truly  temperamental  Frenchman 
with  whom  he  also  found  a  home.  However,  this  arrangement  did 
not  last  long,  for  Belzons,  lacking  in  ordinary  patience,  unfortunately 
proved  himself  to  be  a  very  intolerant  teacher,  with  the  result  that, 
following  a  violent  scene,  his  young  relative  pupil  deserted  him.  This 
was  in  1799,  when  Thomas  was  sixteen  years  old.  His  parents  already 
having  died,  young  Sully,  now  temporarily  homeless  and  without  means, 
seemed  destined  to  have  his  career  ruptured  by  an  event  which  never 
actually  did  take  place.  He  was  about  to  go  before  the  mast,  when  fortu- 
nately for  him  and  the  world  at  large,  Lawrence  Sully,  his  eldest  brother 
and  himself  a  miniature  and  device  painter  who  was  then  living 
in  Richmond,  Va.,  took  him  under  his  protective  wing  and  became 
his  instructor. 

In  this  way,  the  two  brothers,  Thomas  and  Lawrence,  were  associated 
with  one  another  in  both  Richmond  and  Norfolk,  Va.,  until  the  latter's 
death  at  Richmond,  late  in  1803.  It  is  significant,  at  this  point,  to 
mention  that  on  May  the  10th,  1801,  Thomas  Sully  painted  his  first 
miniature  from  life,  a  likeness  of  his  brother  Chester  Sully,  and  thereby 
hangs  the  tale  as  to  the  commencement  of  his  invaluable  "Account  of 
Pictures"  which  is  left  to  us  as  a  very  business-like  record,  particularly 

5 


for  an  artist,  of  his  paintings  from  that  day  on.  The  following  year, 
though  meagre  of  results,  marked  a  new  achievement  in  the  life  of  the 
young  artist.  It  was  his  first  attempt  in  oil  colors,  a  small  portrait  of 
William  Armistead. 

In  1805,  Sully  married  his  widowed  sister-in-law,  whom,  with  her 
three  children,  he  had  been  supporting  since  his  brother's  death  two  years 
before.  One  year  later,  on  the  advice  of  Thomas  Abthorpe  Cooper,  the 
distinguished  English  actor,  we  find  him  moving  from  Richmond  to  New 
York.  This  proved  to  be  the  turning  point  in  his  career,  for  Cooper  lost 
no  time  in  introducing  him  to  many  members  of  the  theatrical  profession, 
not  a  few  of  whom  sat  for  him.  And  so  it  was  that,  about  this  time,  our 
rising  portrait  painter,  surmounting  all  obstacles,  began  to  execute  his 
canvases  with  the  systematic  regularity  so  characteristic  of  him,  through- 
out the  remainder  of  his  long  and  brilliant  career.  Wherever  he  goes 
now,  he  is  met  with  interest  and  admiration,  and  shortly  after  moving  to 
New  York,  Sully  meets,  in  Boston,  Gilbert  Stuart  the  greatest  painter  of  the 
day.    Stuart  gives  him  much  encouragement  and  advice. 

A  few  years  later,  Sully  moved  to  Philadelphia,  there  to  live  until 
the  end  of  his  days.  He  fast  was  building  up  an  enviable  record  as  a 
portrait  painter.  For  the  next  thirty  years  of  his  life,  Philadelphia's 
most  distinguished  citizens  flocked  to  him  to  have  their  portraits  painted. 
Men  prominent  in  private  and  in  public  walks  of  life,  and  ladies  of  high 
and  noble  birth,  noted  for  their  feminine  charm  and  beauty,  came  to  him. 
It  is  with  the  latter  that  he  is  at  his  best,  portraying  a  delicacy  and  life- 
like finesse  unparalleled. 

For  some  years,  Sully  had  planned  a  trip  to  Europe  for  further  study, 
but  his  brother's  death  and  the  family  responsibilities  which  came  with  it, 
had  prevented  him.  It  was  not  until  1809,  that  he  first  realized  this 
ambition.  His  funds  permitted  a  stay  in  England  of  only  nine  months; 
but  twenty-nine  years  later  when  at  the  very  height  of  his  career,  as  a 
truly  crowning  event,  he  was  commissioned  by  the  Society  of  the  Sons  of 
St.  George,  at  Philadelphia,  to  go  to  England  and  paint  a  portrait  of  Queen 
Victoria.  This  he  did,  and  then  journeyed  to  Paris  for  a  short  stay, 
whereupon  he  returned  home.  In  the  declining  years  of  his  life,  Sully 
spent  most  of  his  time  painting  the  heads  of  children,  many  of  which  are 
fine  examples  of  art.  For  fifteen  years,  he  served  as  a  Director  of 
The  Pennsylvania  Academy  of  the  Fine  Arts,  and  in  1842  he  declined  the 
office  of  President;  desiring  to  avoid  all  situations  of  official  rank.  His 
life  work  numbered  over  twenty-six  hundred  paintings.  He  died  in 
Philadelphia,  November  5th,  1872. 

Sully  studied  under  Gilbert  Stuart.  In  London  he  is  said  to  have 
painted  under  West  and  also  under  Lawrence  and  his  work  reflects  more 
the  influence  of  Lawrence  than  that  of  any  other  painter. 

His  style  is  peculiarly  his  own  but  with  unmistakable  traces  of  the 
influence  of  both  Stuart  and  Lawrence. 

6 


The  purity  of  his  flesh  tones  can  be  compared  with  those  of  Stuart, 
while  his  poses,  his  composition  and  his  color  are  n  some  respects  more 
artistic  and  in  others  more  decorative  than  either  Stuart  or  Lawrence. 

He  always  got  the  best  out  of  his  subjects  and  while  many  of  his 
portraits  are  almost  too  pretty,  others  are  surprising  in  their  strength 
and  vitality,  and  some  are  so  essentially  modern  in  composition  and 
execution  that  an  artists'  jury  of  today  would  almost  pronounce  them 
contemporaneous  work. 

Among  Sully's  most  important  paintings,  are  the  full  length  portrait 
of  Lafayette,  belonging  to  the  City  of  Philadelphia;  George  Frederick 
Cooke  as  Richard  III,  belonging  to  the  Academy's  permanent  collection; 
"Washington  Crossing  the  Delaware,"  belonging  to  the  Boston  Museum 
of  Fine  Arts;  and  the  full  length  portrait  of  Queen  Victoria  in  her  royal 
robes,  ascending  the  throne,  belonging  to  the  Society  of  the  Sons  of 
St.  George.  His  full  length  portrait  of  Colonel  Jonathan  Williams — 
owned  by  the  U.  S.  Military  Academy  at  West  Point  and  which  the 
Academy  is  so  fortunate  as  to  have  in  the  Memorial  Exhibit — is 
a  masterpiece. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  full  length  portrait  of  Lafayette, 
now  belonging  to  the  City  of  Philadelphia,  at  one  time  belonged  to  The 
Pennsylvania  Academy  of  the  Fine  Arts.  The  latter  institution,  with  the 
artist's  consent  (for  he  had  presented  it  to  the  Academy  when  the  original 
plan  of  purchasing  it  for  the  City — the  money  to  be  raised  by  subscription 
— had  failed),  transferred  it  to  the  City  in  exchange  for  West's  painting  of 
"Paul  and  Barnabas." 

No  sketch  of  the  artist's  life  would  be  complete,  however  brief,  without 
paying  a  glowing  tribute  to  the  man  himself.  He  was  a  man  who  not  only 
endeared  himself,  through  his  brush,  to  many  who  never  knew  him  per- 
sonally, but  also  because  of  his  unusually  high  code  of  honor,  his  self 
denial  in  behalf  of  his  large  family  (there  were  nine  children  by  his 
marriage),  and  those  friends  to  whom,  from  time  to  time,  he  became  indebted, 
and  because  of  his  indefatigable  efforts  to  brush  aside  all  obstacles  in  his 
path  to  success.  Furthermore,  he  always  was  ready  to  aid  and  advise  the 
younger  artists  of  his  day.  He  was  devoted  to  his  wife  and  children  and 
had  a  most  happy  married  life.  Little  wonder  is  it  that  Cooper,  Stuart, 
Wilcocks,  West,  Lawrence  and  many  others  were  ever  willing  and  ready  to 
help  Sully  not  only  with  constructive  advice  on  art,  but  financially !  Little 
wonder  is  it  that  the  City  of  Philadelphia,  in  the  closing  years  of  Sully's 
life,  when  an  ordinance  to  widen  Ranstead  Street  between  Fourth  and 
Fifth  Streets  had  been  passed,  repealed  this  act  when  it  was  found 
that  such  an  undertaking  would  necessitate  the  demolishing  of  the  old 
artist's  home!

No.  231.  THE  SNIDER  CHILDREN. 

In  1841,  signed  "T  S".  29"  x  36". 

Angelina,  aged  8,  John  Vaughan,  aged  6,  and  Francis  Huger,  aged  4,  in  a 
group,  children  of  Jacob  Snider,  Jr.  (i8io-i866),awine  merchant,  residing  on 
Pine  Street  above  Broad  Street,  Philadelphia.  The  father,  who  was  a  son  of 
Jacob  Snider,  Sr.  (1786-1871),  bookbinder,  of  95  North  9th  Street,  was 
married  in  1832,  by  the  eminent  Unitarian  minister  and  anti-slavery  leader, 
Rev.  Dr.  William  Henry  Furness,  at  the  latter 's  residence  in  Philadelphia, 
to  the  mother  of  the  children,  Angelina  Levy  (1811-1883).  The  mother's 
portrait  was  painted  by  Sully  in  1835  and  the  father's  in  1836.  She  was  a 
daughter  of  a  prosperous  Philadelphia  broker,  and  a  native  of  Germany, 
Joseph  Levy  (1758-1850),  of  31  Spruce  Street,  by  his  wife  Anna  Maria 
Plum  (17 76-1 82 3),  to  whom  he  was  married  in  1795,  at  the  Old  Swedes 
Church.  The  two  older  children,  Angelina  (1833-1889)  and  John  Vaughan 
(b.  1835),  were  baptized  by  Dr.  Furness  in  their  father 's  house.  Angelina, 
later  known  as  Annie  L.,  became  the  wife  of  a  commission  merchant,  Henry 
F.  Pohl,  of  1408  Pine  Street,  who  died  in  1910,  leaving  a  second  wife, 
Laura  Virginia  Pohl. 

The  son,  John  Vaughan  Snider,  was  in  the  wine  business  with  his  father  in 
Philadelphia  as  late  as  1858,  but  in  1866  he  and  his  mother  are  mentioned 
as  of  Media,  Pennsylvania,  where,  apparently,  she  lived  some  years. 
Her  later  life  was  spent  in  Philadelphia;  she  was  buried  beside  her 
father  in  Woodlands  Cemetery.  The  son,  Francis  Huger  Snider  (b.  1837), 
married  and  was  in  Philadelphia  as  late  as  1898. 

The  father,  Jacob  Snider,  Jr.,  is  noted  as  the  inventor  of  the  Snider 
rifle.  Rebuffed  by  the  American  Government,  he  went  abroad  in  1859, 
discussed  his  system  of  breechloading  with  Prince  Albert,  the  Royal 
Consort,  and  obtained  the  acceptance  of  his  invention  by  the  British 
Government,  quantities  of  his  rifles  being  sold  to  the  United  States. 
With  the  development  of  the  Boxer  cartridge  shell  the  Snider  rifle 
attained  high  rank.  Snider,  however,  was  unable  to  obtain  adequate 
remuneration  in  his  lifetime.  His  death,  by  paralysis,  occurred  in  1866, 
near  London.  His  heirs  subsequently  received  considerable  money 
through  his  invention.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  and  the  first 
Recording  Secretary,  1833-1838,  of  The  Pennsylvania  Institution  for  the 
Instruction  of  the  Blind,  in  Philadelphia,  and  personally  designed  and 
printed  for  the  blind  pupils  an  embossed  book  of  The  Gospel  according  to 
St.  Mark  (40  copies,  4to,  160  pp.,  Philadelphia,  1833),  said  to  be  the 
earliest  work  of  this  character  issued  in  the  New  World.  He  published 
A  Chapter  on  Medocs,  or  Claret  Wines,  in  Philadelphia,  about  1850,  and 
Remarks  on  Old  or  Smooth-Bore  Cannon  (written  in  Paris,  in  1861),  in 
London,  in  1864.
